lyrics

Slow-motion entrance to an action scene
Half-priced air groans through vents
Backpack heavy with busted almonds and brittle cheese
I brush the tired dust from my threadbare jeans

Shouldered up the marble stairs and delivered
Into the city’s waiting hands
Sharp afternoon light razors across her glass and steel skin,
A clot of Yellow Cabs compete for a fare

I long to see you in the moonlight
Your curves and angles bathed in soft white
To move and stretch and breathe beneath your skin
As you take me in

Against the thrust and shudder of traffic
A girl in tight jeans and strappy heels
Struts by smelling like Saks,
A single cell shining like city lights that only fade out when they burn out.

My mistress holds a different kind of darkness,
The hum and pulse of a human hive,
Honeyed sweat pouring through a breathless bottleneck
Onto sidewalks, along gutters, and down to the harbor

CHORUS

BRIDGE (instrumental)

Pounding club beats melt into café steam and
The tension of toast and coffee in a foreign land.
Nagging of a time-stamped ticket
Interrupting “someday” dreams

Our embrace loosens in the rosewater dawn.
I slip beneath the sidewalk, down a haloed hallway
Toward the platform, routine,
And a city not completely on the map.
